I hate the word Can’t. Seriously, I hate it SO MUCH. We (usually) use the word “can’t” as an excuse. I know I sure used to. I was diagnosed with Lyme Disease at 23 years old. That’s when the can’ts *really* began. “You can’t exercise.” <—–Oh no…I have to be sedentary? Shucks. “You can’t haveContinue reading “CAN’T”

I have always been a firm believer that everything happens for a reason. It is a comfort to me to know that all of the deep valleys in life have also brought me to my highest peaks. And yet…we always forget that in the moment as we are trapped in circumstances. I was reminded LOUDLYContinue reading “A’ight, God. I Get It Now.”

Yesterday I stopped being a bitch. You think I’m joking, but I’m not. I’ve been a fairly raging bitch since the end of last year. Why? Because it felt like everything was suddenly spiraling out of control. One thing after another after another after…well, you get it. One of my greatest fears is the lossContinue reading “What Are You Afraid Of?”

Hi, my name is Sheri…and I’m “Way too excited about my new toilets” years old. *sigh* When did this happen?? This morning, as I sat there excitedly looking at my beautiful brand new toilets that one of my best friends and her husband installed yesterday…as I sat there thinking, “None of them are broken orContinue reading “And, Just Like That, I’m The (Least Grown Up Ever) Adult…”

I’ve been thinking about broken hearts. First things first, let’s be real…we’ve all had our hearts broken and we’ve all probably broken someone’s heart. It’s just part of life. And man does it hurt when it happens. BUT, as I’m pondering this today, I have a new view on broken hearts and their pain. WhatContinue reading “Thank You For Breaking My Heart”

The perfect date. We all have one (hopefully). That date you look back on and think, “Why can’t they all be like that?”. Maybe it was a beautiful restaurant…dressing up and being treated like royalty. Orrrr…maybe you’re like me and it involved a giant cow. 🤷‍♀️ Many many (…MANY…) years ago, a fresh, innocent (stopContinue reading “The Perfect Date Still Moooooves Me”

I cried today. I don’t do that very often. I DESPISE crying. I think it was good for me this time though. Sometimes tears are cleansing and wash away what’s blocking our vision. What was blocking my vision, as it has many times, was how the world/certain people see me. It’s so, so very easyContinue reading “Through His Eyes”

A couple of months ago I never would have thought I’d say these words, but… I love Thursday mornings. I’ll start this by saying, I have a long standing belief that people need to know when they’ve impacted you. Whether we like to admit it or not…we all want to know that we’re seen…and thatContinue reading “Thursday Mornings With Tetresa”

This one is for me. I lie here remembering my faith and my trust. I remind myself again that God has never let me completely fall. And I pray that I can stay strong in the face of no answers. I saw the cardiologist. He said something is definitely not right. He isn’t worried aboutContinue reading “.”

Disclaimer: My teenager said if I ever wrote about her she’d murder me in my sleep. But…this site IS called called “Jazz Hands MOM” and she also found out she gets the life insurance as long as I don’t die by her hands…so, I’ll risk it… (P.S. She just read this disclaimer and approved it.Continue reading “Mornings With Bella”
